Driving forces and obstacles analysis of urban high-quality development in Chengdu.

High-quality development paths in important cities are blurry and lacking. In order to explore the important engine for Chengdu high-quality development, driving forces and obstacles recognition has emerged as a pivotal technological solution. Using the Chengdu in Sichuan province of China as a research area and quantitative data from 2010 to 2019, this study has used content mining to recognize urban high-quality development (UHQD) variables, and calculated variables' weights by entropy weight method, and explored driving forces and obstacles of UHQD by the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method. The main findings are: (1) there are 36 UHQD variables; (2) Chengdu high-quality development overall level soars from 2017 to 2019, only with two negative growth rates in 2011, 2015; (3) There are 3 key driving force paths: (1) improving green development by volume of industrial wastewater discharged, comprehensively utilised ratio of industrial solid wastes, harmless treatment rate of domestic garbage; (2) stressing open development by total import and export/GDP, actual use of foreign capital, number of foreign tourists/total tourists; and (3) intensifying shared development by funds for urban residents under basic provision protection. (4) 3 clearing obstacles paths can also realize Chengdu high-quality development: (1) improving innovative development level by R&D internal outlay, patent authorisations, state high-level tech enterprises; (2) optimizing coordinated development level by the proportion of tertiary industry; (3) promoting shared development level by urban basic pension insurance. According to these findings, suggestions are put forward to promote Chengdu high-quality development from the perspective of policy implementation.

Development and activation of the innovative potential of the Russian economy: regional features, structural priorities, levels of implementation

Relevance. The idea of developing and implementing innovative solutions in various spheres of society implies the existence of ways to find such solutions, their active use and improvement. For this reason, the essence of innovative thinking on the scale of both a single enterprise and the state as a whole requires appropriate provision.The purpose of the research is a comprehensive analysis of the chronological cross-section of the level of innovative development of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the context of multiple global economic and political crises and the internal activation of strategic innovative trends in the formats of lawmaking and modernization.Objectives. To achieve this goal, within the framework of this study, the current legislative situation regarding the state's innovation policy and its projected consequences were considered; the factors of growth in the level of innovative development of the regions of the Russian Federation in the context of statistical dominants were studied; the complex results of regional innovation activity and the all-Russian state of the innovative sphere of development, production, export and import of goods and services were analyzed.Methodology. The methodological basis of this study is the method of chronological extrapolation analysis of trends with constant adjustment in conditions of the selective nature of the analytical data bank; in addition, a theoretical generalization of the indexed result and a priori trend forecasting within the observation period are used.Results. The general principles of the innovation segment development are the same for the whole state, but their applicability in different regions depends on the degree of their convergence with border territorial entities — the basis of the innovation development strategy is the assessment of regional potential in the sum of all indicators. Nevertheless, there is always the possibility of finding a thematic statistical trend.Conclusions. It is fundamentally important for the innovative development of the state to take into account the specifics of each individual region. With all the variety of means and methods of innovative development at all levels of management, priority is given to only a few. In this case, rating systems are an auxiliary element of management structures.

Innovative development indices for the national economies: on the way to the “ideal” assessment of innovation processes in the countries of the world

Purpose: is to develop recommendations for the construction of new indices of innovative development designed for cross-country comparisons.Methods: the conventional general scientific methods were used in the article, such as the ones of description, comparison, system analysis and historical comparison. The study was based on the documents describing calculation methods of the economic indices and scientific publications covering the history, specifics and problems of the practical application of those indices.Results: it is shown that since the 1930s, when the creation of economic indices drew attention of economic science, indices have evolved from the relatively simple statistical indicators to the complex tools with sophisticated calculation methods. Using several of the most famous or remarkable indices as an example, the principal methods currently used in assessing the level of innovative development are revealed. Basing on the conducted research, the major requirements for composing innovative development indices are stipulated.Conclusions and Relevance: it has been found out that in order to achieve the maximum objectivity in compiling indices of innovative development, the widest possible range of significant indicators should be used and a pool of experts should be engaged in their selection. It is also advisable to engage the pool in compiling the index formula, in particular the indicators weights. Data normalization should be used to ensure comparability of incommensurable indicators, and statistical outliers are advised to be neutralized through standardization techniques. It is also necessary to take into account the goals of the index compiled. At the same time, in the future it is necessary to take into account relationships between the actors of national innovation systems and between different innovation systems, effects of scale and, when possible, sectoral specialization of countries and other national specifics.

Logical and Situational Analysis of the Possibilities of Innovative Development of the Agroindustrial Sector

The author has identified a low level of innovative development of the agroindustrial complex and the reasons for the delay in its growth in comparison with other industries and types of economic activity in Russia. The consequence is a noticeable trend of changes in the positive dynamics of economic efficiency indicators of agricultural production in the recent past. This trend indicates weakening Russia’s food security. The article considers one of the possible options for import substitution of innovative means of production used in the agroindustrial sector in the conditions of external economic isolation of the country. It implies the participation of the state in supporting the development and assimilation of knowledge embodied in the real economy as well as in the financing of national innovative solutions. The option under consideration has the following features: selection on a competitive basis and priority financing of means of production with a high technological potential, which are most in demand among agroindustrial enterprises; reimbursement of payment for information on the state of the markets for technology, means of production, resources, food, raw materials provided by IT specialists, as well as for making calculations to optimize the structure and volumes of production, product exports and technological training to enterprises. This kind of financial support is provided in addition to the current practice of state compensation for losses to low-profit agricultural businesses. An experimental scheme for making decisions on priority financing of innovations is examined. The creators of these innovations are economic entities with the highest indicators of production activities and a high probability of fulfilling an order for the output of innovative products. The list of indicators includes many quantitative and qualitative characteristics. This means that the problem is classified as one that can be solved by using algorithms of multiple criteria modeling.

As part of the study, based on the studied material and the data analysis carried out, measures were taken to develop an innovation-sustainable direction, which requires extremely great attention for its further modernization and dissemination. The analysis of innovative countries that are successfully implementing sustainable development goals showed that in Russia it is necessary to increase the level of innovative development, as well as improve measures to achieve sustainable development goals. In addition, it was concluded that, despite the possible negative effects of the digital economy, the positive impact of information technology plays a key role in sustainable development.

Инновационный потенциал регионов арктической зоны Российской Федерации: состояние и пространственная дифференциация

The article considers the components of the innovation potential of Russian regions that are fully or partially included in the Arctic zone. The purpose of the article is to analyze and evaluate the state and dynamics of innovative development of the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The methodology for calculating the composite index of innovative development is proposed. The calculations are made on the basis of the database formed by the authors, which consists of four blocks; the main conclusions on the blocks are formed. According to the composite index for the period 20152021, the leading positions are occupied by the Krasnoyarsk Krai, the Arkhangelsk Oblast and the Komi Republic, and the Republics of Karelia, Sakha (Yakutia) and Komi in terms of the index growth rate. The study of the state, dynamics and level of innovation development in the regions of the AZRF shows that some components of innovation potential are unevenly developed in the regions that are fully or partially included in the AZRF. At the same time, the regions differ in the dynamics of innovative development. Thus, the worst indicators of innovative development in accordance with the proposed methodology are observed in the Arkhangelsk Oblast, Chukotka and Nenets Autonomous okrugs. The high correlation between the composite index of innovative development and indicators of socio-economic development of the regions revealed by the authors characterizes the positive impact of innovation activity on the socio-economic development of the AZRF subjects. In this regard, the key recommendations are the following: improvement of legislative support for the formation of eco-industrial, tourist zones, innovation sites and cluster formations in the Arctic territory within the framework of testing new formats of economic intensification of the Russian Arctic regions; formation of a macro-regional register of suppliers of innovative products for the projects of residents of the AZRF with the distribution of preferential measures of a special economic and administrative regime. The prospects of the research are related to the study of critical vulnerabilities in the production and technological processes of the sectors of specialization of the Arctic regions in import substitution.

Моделирование перспектив инновационного развития регионов Центрального федерального округа РФ

Data from the regions of the Central Federal District became the basis for selecting factors and building a model. This time, indicators were chosen that characterize activities that logically precede innovation, namely, research and development. As a result, calculations yielded coefficients for the model and the numerical value of the criterion for assessing the level of innovative development of regions.

Sustainable Financing for Transport Infrastructure: An Integral Approach for the Russian Federation

The development of global transport infrastructure is a crucial aspect of economic growth and prosperity. In this study, the main trends in the development of global transport infrastructure are analyzed, with a focus on the state and trends in the functioning of the national transport infrastructure of the Russian Federation. By identifying key problems and determinants of financial growth, a preliminary decomposition is made to guide future development. Proceeding from the fact that the innovative development of Russia’s transport infrastructure should occur through state stimulation of the development of intellectual and partnership relationships and the formation of a digital environment for managing projects for its innovative transformation at the state level, this study identifies the goals, methods, and levels of ensuring the implementation of innovative transformations in transport infrastructure. Consideration of the historical aspects of the formation of the modern economy and comprehension of the mechanisms of state management and tools to ensure innovative transformations in the sphere of transport allowed us to identify three stages (dogmatic, strategic regulation, and innovative integration) of transformation regarding the theory of the state management for the innovative development of transport infrastructure in Russia. Taking into account the content of these periods of transformation allowed us to detail the specifics of the modern stage; highlight the shortcomings; and propose theoretical and methodological foundations for revising the provisions of the state regulation of innovative development in transport infrastructure. To determine the effectiveness of the processes of the state regulation of innovation activity in the transport industry, we propose a model for assessing the effectiveness of innovation activity in the transport complex, which is presented in the form of a three-level parametric system, where the first group of indicators allows us to assess the innovation activity of economic entities in the transport industry; the second allows us to assess innovation potential; and the third allows us to assess the effectiveness of innovation. The novelty of the proposed model is the consideration of the principles of dynamism, perspective, and expediency, and its application allows us to establish the level of innovative development in transport infrastructure. An important factor in ensuring the sustainable development of a country’s economy and forming its positive image in the world is its financial attractiveness. Therefore, the assessment of financial attractiveness is a priority task for the development of modern sustainable transport infrastructure in Russia.

Assessment of Innovative Development of Regions in the Context of Structural Transformation of the Economy

Today, the development of economic systems is taking place in an era of transformations that lead to the formation of new economic models. Russia is no exception here. The main impetus for the transformation processes in our country’s economy was the anti-Russian sanctions directly related to political events from the United States, Canada, European and other countries. All this poses threats to Russia’s political, economic and social security. Therefore, in modern realities caused by sanctions pressure, the key strategic task of overcoming crisis phenomena and shocks is the formation of a new industrialization based on domestic innovations. It is important to assess the innovative potential of the regions in order to further develop management decisions. The authors proposed and tested a methodological approach to assessing the level of innovative development of the subjects of the Russian Federation. The algorithm of this approach includes sampling official statistical data, determining localization coefficients, averaging and evaluating their dynamics. It was determined that in the period 2011-2022, less than a third of Russian regions improved their economic efficiency and innovation localization indicators. The leading regions of innovative development have a high level of localization of the studied characteristics. Regions characterized by low localization coefficients are traditionally lagging behind and have low indicators of economic, including innovative development. The problems of innovative development of regions under the influence of transformational processes are very multidimensional, therefore, in the limited space of this article, only an assessment of innovative development based on the author’s methodological approach is given.

SYNERGY OF MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGIES AS A FACTOR OF INTENSIFICATION OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES AT THE MICRO AND MESO-LEVELS

The article is devoted to the issue of the need to combine various management technologies used in the process of developing and implementing innovations, as one of the factors of its intensification. As the analysis shows, at present, despite the efforts of the state, the indicators of innovative development of our country are still unacceptably low, not ensuring a high level of its national security and independence in the world market, which requires an increase in the growth rate of the ongoing processes of innovative development. At the same time, we are talking about both individual enterprises and regions as components of the resulting level of innovative development of the state. Based on the study of the research opinion, it was revealed that as the factors underlying the activation of innovative activities, along with providing financing, forming the necessary human resources, developing innovative infrastructure and legislation, there are also factors due to the managerial aspect, which include the applied management technologies, which are the methods and methods by which the implementation of managerial impact. As revealed, digital and flexible management technologies currently have a predominant importance in the context of increasing innovation activity. According to the author, achieving the best result in innovative development will ensure the synergy of applied management technologies, as a result of which the advantages of digital, traditional and flexible technologies will be realized.

Consideration of the peculiarities of the mechanism of stimulating innovative activity

2022 and 2023 are considered the most conflictual years of the Cold War. The confrontation between Israel and Hamas, the escalation of tensions between Serbia and Kosovo, Sudan, Yemen, Karabagh are some of the hot spots that threaten the stability of peace and the world-class economy. 183 armed conflicts were counted for 2023, which is the highest figure for 30 years, and military aggression on the territory of Ukraine has reached the most destructive scale. Research work is an attempt to create a multipolar world, thanks to scientific activity due to the consequences of armed conflicts on the territory of Ukraine. The most important condition for economic growth on the platform of quality renewal of production is the reduction of costs, the production of a quality product, service, and the introduction of innovation. Thus, the object of the study is the dependence of targeted financing of innovations as a direction that will contribute to increasing the level of innovative development of enterprises. It also considers the dependence of targeted financing of innovations as a way to increase the level of innovative development of enterprises under the known impact of military operations on the territory of Ukraine. The problem of the research is the state of innovative development of Ukraine, the factors that caused it, the tools of influence and stimulation from the state, such as tax incentives, attracting investors for the development of small and medium-sized businesses through the creation of favorable economic conditions, using the example of the Diia City tax regime. It also the dependence of targeted financing of innovations, as a direction to increase the level of innovative development of enterprises under the known effects of military actions on the territory of Ukraine. The obtained results are due to such factors as the impact of military aggression on the territory of Ukraine, the pandemic and post-pandemic period, which had negative consequences such as a decrease in the planned volume of production due to the downtime of enterprises, a decrease in labor productivity, changes in the established raw material supply system. The study of the special regime of «Diia City» indicates a positive growing level of interest of investors, in particular foreign ones, in attracting funds for the development of various sectors of the economy, most of all in the field of information services, which contributes to the processes of digitization and integration of Industry 4.0. The results can be used for the strategic planning of economic entities during the war period and the post-war recovery of the economy of Ukraine, where the attraction of innovations is one of the key elements of economic prosperity, and tax incentives are a tool of the state regulatory apparatus.

Innovative Development of Russian Regions: Assessment and Dynamics in the Context of Sustainable Development

Innovative development of regions is a key factor that determines the level of competitiveness of the economies of all countries in the world. This article uses statistical tools to assess the level of innovative development of the regions of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the work is to assess the innovative development of the subjects of Russia for the period 2010–2020. Objectives of the study: (1) to study the main parameters of innovative development of the subjects of the Russian Federation; (2) to conduct a typology of Russian regions by the level of innovative development on the basis of cluster analysis. The selected time interval (2010–2020) was a period of increasing turbulent flows of development of socio-economic processes at the global, national and regional levels. Cluster analysis was used to identify spatial and functional features of innovative development of Russian regions. The obtained analytical calculations confirm a high degree of differentiation between the Russian regions by all key indicators of innovative development. The results of grouping regions on the basis of cluster analysis showed that there are four clusters based on the sum of normalized indicators, reflecting different levels of innovative development in Russian regions. The analysis revealed that most of the regions belong to the groups with moderate and low levels of innovative development. The regions of the Central and Volga Federal Districts have the highest level of innovative development, while the regions located in the north of the European part of Russia, the North Caucasus, the south of eastern Siberia and the Far East, as well as “new” regions, have a low level. The results of the study can be implemented by regional authorities for systematic monitoring of the level of innovative development of regions, making managerial decisions and developing mechanisms to ensure innovation activity in the regions.

Influence of Interregional Spatial Effects on the Economic Development of Russian Regions

The paper analyzes interregional spatial effects and assesses their impact on the development of Russia's regions. Given the differences in the geographical location of the regions, as well as the peculiarities of the regional economy in each constituent entity of the Russian Federation, a topical issue is the assessment and analysis of interregional spatial interactions for the development of modern regional development programs. The purpose of this research is to study the heterogeneity of the regions of the Russian Federation by identifying interregional spatial interactions. The paper presents a methodology for assessing interregional spatial effects and selects indicators for identifying and assessing them. The study uses data on 77 regions of Russia. When assessing spatial effects, we considered the regions that became part of the Russian Federation in 2014: the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol. The key dependent variable in the econometric models is the GRP growth rate. Among the independent variables, we consider 17 indicators that also characterize regional development for the period 2015-2020. The study revealed that interregional spatial effects are present for all regions of Russia: for the western regions these effects are positive, and for the eastern ones they are negative. It is shown that the level of innovative development in one region has a stronger impact on the growth rates of GRP in neighboring regions than in the region itself. It is revealed that a reduction in investment in fixed capital contributes to an increase in the growth rates of GRP, and that an increase in imports in one region leads to a decrease in the growth rates of GRP in others. The results obtained are stable to the choice of weight matrices and indicate that comprehensive measures affecting all regions are necessary for the development of the western regions of the Russian Federation - in this case, the effect of these changes will be enhanced due to the presence of spatial effects. In some eastern regions, on the contrary, it is necessary to develop individual development programs for each individual region.

Research on Regional Innovation from a Structural Perspective：Take Chinese County-Level Areas as Examples

The county-level administrative unit serves as the fundamental building block of the national structure, yet there exists a dearth of comprehensive research on its influence on innovation development. Thus, drawing from a Structural perspective, this paper employs fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to delve into the pivotal factors and conditions shaping county-level innovative development level across different periods from 2006 to 2020. The findings unveil: (1) The advancement of innovation and development at the county level necessitates the amalgamation of various factors. While the structures of different factors are not indispensable for fostering innovative development level. (2) County-level innovation and high development manifest in five configurational modes, classified as ‘human-industry’, ‘human-industry-information’, ‘industry-finance’, ‘human capital’ and ‘information-based’ types. (3) Across multi-period comparative analysis, the ‘human-industry’ configuration consistently emerges, indicating its significant impact on the county-level innovative development level. The trajectory of this configuration’s evolution represents the ‘dominant trajectory’. (4) The interaction pattern between human capital and industrial structure remains relatively stable throughout the evolution process, while human capital structure and information infrastructure exhibit a complementary relationship. This paper delves into potential avenues for enhancing county-level innovation development, offering fresh insights on bolstering innovation capabilities at the county level.

ОЦІНКА ІННОВАЦІЙНОГО ПОТЕНЦІАЛУ УКРАЇНИ В КОНТЕКСТІ СВІТОВИХ РЕЙТИНГІВ

The innovative potential of Ukraine was evaluated in the context of world ratings, in particular according to the Global Innovation Index, the Bloomberg Innovation Index and the Summary Innovation Index. The place of Ukraine among other countries of the world in terms of the level of innovative development has been determined. In the Global Innovation Index in 2021, Ukraine was in 49th place, in the Bloomberg Innovation Index – in 58th place, in the Innovation Index of the Summary Innovation Index – in 34th place. According to the results of the ratings, such countries as Switzerland, USA, Sweden, South Korea, Great Britain, Finland, and Germany occupy the leading positions. The position of Ukraine in international rankings before the full-scale invasion of Russia on the territory of Ukraine indicates a rather unstable competitive position and the absence of an active policy in support of innovative activities and lack of effective mechanisms for introducing innovations and further commercialization. And the war only deepened and exacerbated the existing problems and significantly worsened the image of our state on the international arena in the context of its innovative development. In such difficult conditions, it is already important to use the best world experience and practices of the European Union in the formation of state policy regarding the development of innovations, including finding ways to increase financial support for innovative development from the state. The implementation of effective state regulation through the mechanisms of stimulating and supporting innovations, as the main driving force for increasing competitiveness, establishing cooperation between the state, society and business, creating a favorable institutional environment for the development of science, scientific developments and research should be a priority vector of Ukraine despite all the difficulties associated with war. The creation of human resources support mechanisms, in which Ukrainian scientists could implement their innovative ideas and developments in Ukraine, and not abroad, will also contribute to the increase of innovation potential.
